zaino with automatic car washes?

If I Zaino my car, will I still be able to go through a automatic car wash?
The local car wash has one of those hot wax and polish things...
would the 'hot wax and polish' conflict with the zaino?

Yea, avoid that if you can. Any wax on top of a Zaino layer (included S100 ) distorts the optical properties given by the Zaino. I would avoid auto-washs in general, but if you must, avoid any add-ons like wax/polish, etc.. Stick to hand-washing and pressure washing for just rinsing (don't dry a only pressure-washed car...its still DIRTY)

Yep...a pressure wash is NO substitute for hand-wash. If you watch a pressure-rinsed car dry, you can see how much dirt is still there!

well the thing is... I dorm up at school... so washing the car in the driveway isnt an option...

A local carwash has this program here where for $250 a yr, they gave me unlimited interior/exterior washes, tire shine, carpet vacum, hotwax/polish, undercarriage wash...
the only thing is you have to tip the guys every time you go through..
